Do you remember the excitement of receiving birthday cards and other sentiments in the mail when you were a kid? These days with email being so fast and free, that personal touch is something I miss. It was always such a good feeling to know that someone cared enough to go through the effort to get that piece of paper to you.

Well recently I received a very nice surprise in my mail box. A handwritten 'Offical Poem on a Postcard' from my next-to-youngest sister. I thought the poem was sweet -- though she had labled it 'cheezy' and created her own little logo to go along with it. Here is a copy of her 'cheezy' poem. The front photos flip open and the postcards and supporting photos are behind the flaps.

As you can see, her poem calls for interaction, so of course I had to answer her in post card form. I hope she got as much enjoyment out of reading mine as I did hers.

And of course, what would a scrapper do, but turn the interaction into a scrapbook page. I used MT washi Masking tape to make the air mail-look border and Close To My Heart Flip Flap pockets to enclose the postcards. Surprise Trish! This is why I asked you for a photo of yourself sitting in your backyard. Thanks for brightening my day and bringing back that nostalgic feeling of opening the mail box and finding something special tucked inside!

About Me

Since receiving my first camera at the age of 10, I have enthusiastically photographed life's moments, big and small. For me scrapbooking and photography go hand-in-hand. You don't have to be an artistic person to start scrapbooking. All you need is the desire to be the memory keeper of your family's special occasions and favorite moments. Scrapbooking is about the fun of telling the story that I want my children and family to remember. I enjoy experiencing new places and things, learning new crafts, trying out new ideas, and inspiring others to take photographs and scrapbook. This is a place where I can share a little bit of all those things.
